The 2014 New York Musical Theatre Festival kicked off July 7 – and already in the first week of performances, we've got the scoop on two shows which have already started adding performances.

A mix of cutting-edge, funny and touching new musicals are premiering all over New York as part of the 2014 New York Musical Theatre Festival honorarily chaired by Tony Award-winning director Jack O'Brien.

Two of these innovative new works, CLONED! and Fable, are already extending their runs.

NYMF continues through July 27 at several locations throughout New York City. Tickets, exact performance venues, times and more information are all available at nymf.org.

CLONED! Book by Jacey Powers and Dan Wolpow Lyrics by Dan Wolpow Music by Adam Spiegel Directed by Tom Wojtunik July 7-15, plus additional performance July 19

"It is 1993, there is a new president in the White House, 'Jurassic Park' is about to tear up the box office, and Wally Waterman is on the verge of inventing the teleporter. But weird science gets even weirder when Wally accidentally clones himself. Is NYC big enough for two giant, identical egos? It will take nothing short of a movie star, international espionage, and a few pigeons to find out. Featuring a gleefully breezy score, CLONED! is door-slamming, yodel-happy, bird-squawking fun!"

Fable Book by H.S. Kaufman Music and Lyrics by Christopher Anselmo Directed by Jen Wineman July 22-27, plus additional performance July 24

"John, Richie, Chelsea, Emmy and Amelia are members of the Class of 2014. They are the future of the world. Or so they have been led to believe. They have been groomed, educated, poised, conditioned, coached, trained, educated and indoctrinated by those who have issued the passports to their futures. They are, as we meet them, at a graduation party at John’s house that is being crashed by many fellow graduates; one of which turns out to be very beautiful, mysterious, confrontational and a bomb waiting for detonation. These kids are standing on the corner of Future Possibility Avenue and Missed Opportunity Road. And they know it. As the realization that the stories they were told by their parents, teachers and guidance counselors are pure fiction sets in, the daunting task of self-awareness and self-definition is becoming an obvious life-jacket. In the meantime they are all looking for love."
